WEEK FIVE - TRIAL

[hellscapes]

Hello, deadlings. Ready to work double-time?

You may have been wondering what you could possibly do in the aftermath of yesterday's beek. Your demons weren't entirely helpful, and it seems that there were no answers to be found. But on Saturday morning at 11am, you'll soon hear a sound coming from the dock. There's a large ferry waiting for you, and even if you resist you'll eventually find yourself compelled to climb aboard and set off on a short voyage. The islands around you look fairly blurry, but you don't go very far before you stop at a slab of land with two large buildings stationed. The Execution Bar is locked tight and you won't be able to head in that direction. Instead, once again, your feet navigate you to the building on the right as the door creaks open.

Inside is a bar. It's dimly lit in several places, but bright enough for you to see each other and navigate without running into the furniture. Tables and chairs are scattered around in front of the bar counter, and the floor is far less sticky than the bar on the other island. Stained glass windows decorate the walls depicting images of humanity's suffering, and concrete crosses and tombstones are gathered in the corners. The bar itself is fully stocked with all types of alcohol and mixers, along with an array of bar food to help keep your energy up.

At the head of the room lounging among the statues of saints and the Blessed Virgin are Bloody Mary, Cosmopolitan and Midori. With them is also a cut-out of Guy Fieri, dressed as a (sexy?) samurai with a bunch of cool flames cut out of construction paper glued to his back as he walks away from an explosion. He is also holding a sign that says "YOU CAN SOLVE IT!" However, there are now paper tears glued to his face as well. And he looks ready to fall apart.

The second, fresher Fieri is also still here. Why.

Above them hangs another hand-painted banner, sloppily thrown together.

CONGRATS ON YOUR TRIAL!
12pm - 9pm
Vote or suffer eternal damnation

You can try to leave, but the door to the bar has been locked. All of the windows are reinforced, and there isn't another way out. You've been called here for one reason...let the misery begin!

Hello, and welcome to your sixth trial! Over the course of the next nine hours, characters will have the opportunity to discuss, investigate and theorize about this week's murders! Characters will have time to examine the bodies of the victim and explore relevant locations.

There will be a mod-tag break between 4pm EST/1pm PST to 5pm EST/2pm PST. While the trial may continue and players can tag each other, mod-led threads such as questions and investigations will be on hold.

Finally, we have a voting page for characters to vote on the culprit! Please be sure to read this page carefully and that your vote is in by the time trial finishes (9pm EST/6pm PST).

Good luck, and have fun!

EVIDENCE CHECKS

[hellscapes]

[ Not far from the body altar sits a smaller altar, light shining on it for easier investigations. Reply here if your character would like to examine any of the evidence found so far. ]

THREE CORKED TUBES

[cavaliered]

[can she be nosy about what's in the test tubes? what color are they? if she uncorks them what do they smell like?]

[hellscapes]

[ she'll see that the test tubes are marked with C, E and L. all three of them are colorless.

C smells pleasant, E smells a little like wine, and L doesn't have a strong smell. ]

SHOES

[firstandgreatest]

[ LEMME SEE THOSE SHOES!!!!!!!!!! what are they like just. overall at a glance. ]

[hellscapes]

[ they're dirty! with dirt. the dirt is kind of clumping in places... ]

kon's clothes

[preordain]

[ hewwo....

so, what are the state of the clothes? evidence turn-in says the back is shredded and bloody but besides that is there anything very obvious ]

[hellscapes]

[ there's nothing else obvious at a glance besides shredded and bloody. it seems to be mostly concentrated on the back of his outfit ]

WEAPONS CHECKSIES

[psynchronise]

[ baseball slides in with a list of weapons and his own weapo to check againsts the wounds on kon.

anything that matches, or could guide them in the right direction weapons wise? ]

[hellscapes]

[ looking at the weapons presented, it's easy to rule out items such as guns, large swords, and itto's harpoon. while thancred's daggers and the tip of persephone's scythe might be a little closer, they're still too large to really be a match.

the crab multitool is also too small.

so that is to say...none of these are a great match. ]

burnt wool

[hardrocklife]

[checking out this burnt wool that was near the fire in the forest biome!

does it have any distinct shape to it, like it was an article of clothing or some kind of wool object?]

[hellscapes]

[ there's no distinct shape to it, and it's a pretty typical wool color: a kind of off-white. where it isn't burned. the burned spots are. burned wool color. ]

phone

[selfdestructs]

[ hey fam, it's ya girl.

what embarrassing lock screen does kon have...and then after finding that out, she's going to trying to unlock it, by putting in 9-6-7-8. ]

[hellscapes]

[ his lock screen is a selfie of D.Va and Yoru going 'rawr' in dinosaur kigus! very cute.

when she unlocks the phone, it immediately opens to the camera app. ]

white powder that is totally anthrax

[greatvalue]

[okay for clarification is this like.......... moist powder clumps or is it like a paste? how is it a little bit liquid?]

[hellscapes]

[ it is a very dry powder. there is no liquid in the samples of white powder. ]

CHEMICALS... 2

[engineers]

[ i know its break but im doing this before i forget

to the wise eye of a scientist/a man who has relabeled these goddamn chemicals with REAL LABELS, KON so many times

1. Is the "E" chemical ethanol?

2. otherwise, running some very scientific tests: he will take a little bit of the "l" chemical and a sheet of paper and pour a couple drops on the paper. does it burn through it?

3. the "c" chemical has a pleasant odor and tingles a little bit to touch. if he BRIEFLY inhales it, does it make the inside of his nose burn? ]

BURNED WOOL

[failbo]

[Let's try to do this in a careful manner...because Filbo sure knows from seeing this all being reckless with proof has like 50% chance of being hazardous.

So! Does this smell like it was in contact or in the vicinity of certain chemicals? Lye, wine smell from ethanol, chloroform, grump forbid...]

Phone photo

[voidshift]

[so with the grainy bad quality of this image

is it possible to tell if the rodent is genuinely rodent shaped? or is identification mostly because of ears etc. could this be a low quality photo of a person in a rodent kigu, is what i am asking.]

misc kon items

[outsidebones]

[okay i'm just going to have harrow do a check of the following:

- dorm key
- kiseru pipe
- golem
- tool kit
- lighter

is there anything on any of these or indication they were used recently or anything like that?]

FEET

[firstandgreatest]

posting these feet and also kons feet against the smudgy ice cream print

broken vials

[outsidebones]

[am i reading this correctly that we examined the three vials that were on kon's body, but not the three that were found broken at the scene?

if i'm wrong and they've been checked, ignore me. but she's going to compare the three broken vials (being very careful when she touches them and using her cloak to cover her hands) and confirm that the broken vials look/smell like they contained the same chemicals as the ones found on kon's body.]

pink goo

[outsidebones]

[what is this. is it strawberry syrup? blood mixed with anthrax?]

beegu

[psynchronise]

[ does he recognise this stupid beegu as being the one from curfew.


also is there anything that he might NOT recognise about it? ]

digus (dirt kigus)

[voidshift]

[checking these in closer detail!! front, back, insides-- anything off about them but the dirt? is the dirt consistent across them?]

knife....

[greatvalue]

[tiredly stares at maple and pazu are these mod tl questions or questions for pazu's item check subtl help--

1. would hunter recognize this knife from their w1 cat quest or is this too much of a Generic Kitchen Knife?
2. does the knife look like it's been used in any way... like any scratches on it, maybe bits of blood/dirt that didn't get washed off properly, or water stains...
3. can take this to body instead if you prefer but does the knife look like a match for kon's stab wounds? looks at tuuri confessing. well, anyway,]
